Darkside

As Gabe progressed through the Awakening, his shadow eventually grew into the Darkside. Gabe attacks the giant, after that the Door to Darkness was opened, eventually being sucked up into a dark cloud that loomed above the islands, whereas Gabe was sucked up along with it and transported to Meeting Grounds. Darkside later rose up from the ground below and interfered with the battle between Gabe and Co. and Vanitas at End of the World.

The Darkside punches the ground, causing a dark pool and mild shockwave to form. This attack gives birth to a small number of Shadows.

The Darkside creates a dark force in the heart-shaped hole in its body, which fires dark homing missiles.

The Darkside is an easy-medium boss, and can be defeated very quickly. In both battles against the Darkside, the strategy for defeating it remains the same. Its weaknesses are its head and hands. This is simply a hack-and-slash battle, with no real strategy needed. Simply attack at every opportunity and avoid the Darkside's attacks. When the Darkside launches its dark missiles, time your attacks just right to send them hurling back, heavily damaging the Darkside as well as granting Tech points to yourself. Any deflected missiles grants you 1 Tech point, while every deflected missile that hits the Darkside grants you an additional 2 Tech points.

If you get low on health, defeat the Shadows that spawn, as they drop HP orbs. If you can climb Darkside's arm and attack its head, you gain tech points for every combo finisher landed.
